While tumors upregulate immune checkpoint molecules such as PD-L1 on their surface to inhibit T cell activity, the generalized immune-inhibitory tumor microenvironment can also polarize T cells to a suppressive phenotype known as regulatory T cells, or Tregs. Tregs are CD4+ T cells characterized by the secretion of the regulatory cytokine IL-10, which is inhibitory to both macrophages and T cells, and can to suppress the activity of tumor-directed T cells.
We have developed an assay that robustly generates Tregs and measures their ability to suppress T cell proliferation. Test your compound's ability to modulate Treg polarization or to reverse suppression of T cell proliferation, thereby boosting anti-tumor T cell activity.
What can we observe?
CD4+ T cells can be efficiently polarized to Tregs using a cytokine cocktail containing IL-2 and TGF-β1. Efficient polarization to the Treg phenotype is measured by the upregulation of the transcription factor Foxp3 using flow cytometry (see diagram).
We have demonstrated that coculture of naive CD8+ T cells (effector T cells, or Teff) with polarized Tregs dose-dependently inhibits CD8+ T cell proliferation compared to incubation of CD8+ T cells alone. Results are expressed as % suppression.
There is a baseline lack of proliferation in CD8+ T cells alone (blue line), with a dose-dependent increase in suppression following the addition of Tregs (orange line), leading to 90% suppression of CD8+ proliferation at the highest dose of Tregs.
We can assess your compound for its ability to relieve Treg suppression on T cells, as well as its ability to prevent T cell polarization to the Treg state.

PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. It's a daily pill that can help prevent HIV. If you don't have HIV, taking PrEP every day can lower your chances of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. PrEP is also known by the brand name Truvada.
PrEP isn't right for everybody. PrEP is for people who don't have HIV, and are at higher risk for getting HIV. You may want to talk with a doctor or nurse about PrEP if you:
Don't regularly use condoms .
Have a sexual partner who has HIV (sometimes called serodiscordant, serodifferent, magnetic, or mixed status couples).
Have a sexual partner who is at high risk for getting HIV (like if they have anal or vaginal sex with other people without condoms, or they're an injection drug user).
Have anal or vaginal sex with many partners, especially if you don't use condoms regularly.
Recently had another (like
Gerry Weber Rock G Short Skirt With Lace Optics
, Marco Tozzi Bootee
, or Adani Emilio Hemd Uni
Do sex work that includes vaginal or anal sex.
Have injected drugs, shared needles, or been in treatment for drug use in the past 6 months.
If you're at high risk for HIV and you're pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding, PrEP may also help you and your baby avoid getting HIV.
Your doctor or nurse will talk with you about your situation to figure out if PrEP is right for you. It's important to be honest so you can get the best health care for you — doctors and nurses are there to help, not judge. The more accurate information they have, the better they can help you.
PrEP isn't the same thing as PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). PEP is a short-term treatment for people who've already been exposed to HIV within the past 72 hours. PrEP is an ongoing daily pill for people who may be exposed to HIV in the future.
If you use it correctly, PrEP can lower your chances of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. And using condoms and PrEP together helps you stay even safer. PrEP can also lowers your chances of getting HIV from sharing needles by more than 70%.
It's really important to take PrEP every day. PrEP doesn't work as well if you skip pills. If you don't take it every day, there might not be enough medicine in your body to block HIV.
After obtaining Nanny's payment from the publishers, the witches arrive at the Opera House and begin investigating the actions of the Opera Ghost. Granny disguises herself as a wealthy audience member, while Nanny meets the staff. The Opera Ghost strikes again that evening when Undercroft is murdered and his body appears on display in the middle of performance. Agnes discovers that the caretaker
Mango Long Satin Dress
appears to be the Opera Ghost, but he appears to be harmless and the others are unconvinced. The pianist Hohenstaufen Costume Skirt With Swinging Wide
is also suspected, but it turns out that he was only a spy for the City Watch .
It is finally revealed that the Opera Ghost was actually being played two different people. Walter Plinge was the original Opera Ghost and that he was responsible for the harmless activities. Nanny also discovers that in the basement of the Opera House, Plinge has composed several operas and musicals of his own. On the other hand, the murders and sabotage that the Opera Ghost committed were committed by Salzella. He used this in order to distract people from his money laundering activities. With the witches' help, Plinge confronts Salzella and defeats him in a swordfight. Salzella dies after making an prolonged and melodramatic monologue about how much he hates opera.
Btw, the original artworks for the covers are a lot bigger than the books and apparently are reduced down several times for publication. You would be surprised.
This was also the first Discworld Novel where the first editions cover followed the 'letterbox' format used for hardcover reprints of previous books. This only lasted until Jingo .
The Unseen Library Edition of the book was the last in that format, but two editions were printed as the first printing was misspelled as Maskarade on the cover.
The story is an obvious parody of
The Phantom of the Opera
, which was
originally a novel
but better known for the 1986 musical version created by

The character of Walter Plinge (especially the berets he wears) is a reference to Frank Spencer, a character in the 1970s British sitcom

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can't digest. Though most carbohydrates are broken down into sugar molecules, fiber cannot be broken down into sugar molecules, and instead it passes through the body undigested. Fiber helps regulate the body's use of sugars, helping to keep hunger and blood sugar in check.
Children and adults need at least 20 to 30 grams of fiber per day for good health, but most Americans get only about 15 grams a day. Great sources are whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and beans.
The best sources of fiber are whole grain foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, and nuts.
Some tips for increasing fiber intake:
Fiber appears to reduce the risk of developing various conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, diverticular disease, and constipation. Despite these benefits, fiber probably has little, if any, effect on colon cancer risk.
High intake of dietary fiber has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease in a number of large studies that followed people for many years. (
Next Jeans With Belt
) In a Harvard study of over 40,000 male health professionals, researchers found that a high total dietary fiber intake was linked to a 40 percent lower risk of coronary heart disease. ( Anderson Jw Knot Shoulder Bag Made Of Suede With Leather Trim
)A related Harvard study of female nurses produced quite similar findings. ( Berwin Wolff Spank Rock In Fashionable Karodesign
Higher fiber intake has also been linked to a lower risk of metabolic syndrome, a combination of factors that increases the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. These factors include high blood pressure, high insulin levels, excess weight (especially around the abdomen), high levels of triglycerides, and low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. Several studies suggest that higher intake of fiber may offer protective benefits from this syndrome. (

, Tom Tailor Modern Fit Leisure Shirt With Short Sleeves Blue
Diets low in fiber and high in foods that cause sudden increases in blood sugar may increase the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Both Harvard studies—of female nurses and of male health professionals—found that this type of diet more than doubled the risk of type 2 diabetes when compared to a diet high in cereal fiber and low in high-glycemic-index foods. (
Vaude Winter Coat Ceduna Coat Made Of Waterproof Material
) A diet high in cereal fiber was linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
Other studies, such as the Black Women's Health Study (
Apart Jacquardrock
) and the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition–Potsdam, have shown similar results.

There has been lots of recent discussion about Google and AT&T targeting to provide the city of Austin, TX with a 1-gigbit-per-second Internet service. While the competitive and innovative spirit should make Austin feel like one of the luckiest towns in the world, I would like to tell you about a metro service provider in Clarksville, Tennessee that already provides its residential and commercial customers with 1 Gigabit Ethernet services to the premise.
CDE Lightband is the leading municipal utility provider of electricity, digital television, Internet and voice to all of the 100 square miles located within the boundaries of Clarksville, TN. They offer their services to approximately over 64,000 customers while 892 miles of power lines and 960 miles of fiber optic cable are maintained. Most distinguishably, CDE Lightband provides a true Active Ethernet network to their customers. This means that each and every one of their residential and commercial customers has their own active Ethernet, Fiber-to-the-Premise port. The value of an Active Ethernet network is that the bandwidth on the connection is not shared, and is thus an effective way of ensuring a 1-Gbps connection to each subscriber. It is certainly a feather in the hat for a service provider of any size.
Brocade is proud to support CDE Lightband's Active Ethernet project. By using the Brocade NetIron CES series switches, CDE Lightband can sell Gigabit Internet service and provide bandwidth throughput. In the future, CDE Lightband plans to use the 10G ports on the Brocade CES so they can grow the switches into the network as they expand their internal infrastructure.
Like all service providers, CDE Lightband's top priority is to provide world class performance and reliability. Because of the Brocade CES series switches, CDE Lightband is able to offer their customers a unique and powerful Ethernet services (as exemplified in their Active Ethernet project) and deliver them on pace with their customers' business and personal requirements. Brocade is very honored to be the backbone of CDE Lightband's network!
To learn more about the Brocade and CDE Lightband partnership, please watch this video.
And here is another regional service provider providing gigabit services to its customers:
Interesting how the Vermont provider is citing Google's expansion of its Fiber Project as one of the main drivers for having federal funding approved for its network upgrade. While the big carriers are getting headlines for the competition Google is starting, the smaller regional providers are seeing this as an opportunity.

The Core Exam is generally offered on the third Friday following the start of the semester. The next Core Exam will be held on:
Friday, February 10, 2012 9:30 a.m.
The exam is held in room 412 WWH from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m and 1:45 to 3:15 p.m. Students must arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of each session to sign in and present their NYU ID card. The programming languages and operating systems questions are given in the morning session, the algorithms questions in the afternoon.
To register for the Core Exam, send an email to Jen Rose Alexander at email@example.com.
Please include the following information on one line, in the body of your message:
Last Name, First Name UID (without the use of dashes separating the numbers)
For example:
Doe, John N12345678
Students will receive a confirmation to their email requesting registration within two business days. Students must register at least one week in advance for the Core Exam. For the Spring 2012 Core Exam, the last day to register to take the Core Exam is Friday, February 3rd. We will not accept registrations after that day.
In addition to the course requirements, students in the MSCS program under the MSCS Degree Requirements Prior to Fall 2009 must pass the Core Exam. Please note that MSCS students under the MSCS Degree Requirements Effective Fall 2009 do not need to take the Core Exam.
This exam is based on three core courses: Fundamental Algorithms (G22.1170), Programming Languages (G22.2110) and Operating Systems (G22.2250), plus additional material listed in the syllabus below. All questions on the exam are given equal weight and are scored from 1 to 10. Both the individual answers and the total scores are curved to determine the passing grade.
Every student gets two chances to pass the Core Exam. A student who registers for and attends the exam will be considered to have used one of these two chances, even if he or she does not submit the exam. Cancellations of exam registration will be accepted until 5:00 P.M. the day before the exam. If the student fails both times, the student will be terminated from the program and will not receive the degree.
Graduation cannot take place earlier than three months after you have passed the Core Exam. If you pass the Core exam administered at the start of the spring term, and that is your final degree requirement, you will be eligible to graduate in May; you must then register for Maintenance of Matriculation (G47.4747-001) for the spring semester. Passing the exam administered in the beginning of the fall semester as your final requirement qualifies you for a January degree and you will have to register for Maintenance of Matriculation (G47.4747-001) for the fall semester.
All students are strongly urged to take the Core Exam at the first available opportunity after completing at least 6 courses in the MS program. For a typical full-time student admitted in the fall semester, it would mean taking the exam in September, at the start of your third semester. This is especially important for international students on a 2-year visa, as it would allow time for a second and final attempt in your final semester.
Operating Systems
Programming Languages
Compilers (Starting with the September 2008 Core Exam, Compilers will no longer be part of the Core Exam)

I just think that steppers don't have small enough step size to do what Fabitosh is proposing.
Nice looking experiment. Good show!
You talk about photo-transistors, but the devices in your photo look like photo-voltaic cells?
Couldn't you implement a "micro-stepping" scheme, either by using a driver chip that implements it, or by building a custom driver that can output a varying voltage to the coils (instead of the regular on/off scheme), to allow you to position the rotor between coils...?
Yes, but that would quadruple the complexity of the project and Fabitosh seems to have his hands full already.
You seem to have these connected as if they were photo-sensitive resistors. Aren't they photo-voltaic cells? They should generate some small voltage upon exposure to light. What happens if you just connect the - side directly to ground and the + side directly to an Arduino analog input pin?

CBS Confirms Season 9 of Two and a Half Men, Ashton Kutcher SigningSteve Marsi at . Comments
It's official. Two and a Half Men will be back and Charlie Sheen will not.
Ashton Kutcher signed a deal to replace Charlie Sheen next fall on Two and a Half Men, although the newcomer says Sheen cannot really be replaced.
In a press release today, Ashton said of 2 1/2 Men: "I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people."
"I can't wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers' homes."
Chuck Lorre, creator and executive producer of Two and a Half Men, says he's thrilled his "family" is intact and "If I could be any happier, it'd be illegal."
Kutcher will NOT be playing Charlie Harper (that would make for some downright ridiculous Two and a Half Men quotes), but rather a new character.
It's unclear how he'll be brought on, but Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones will be coming back for a ninth season, which CBS confirmed is in the works.
What do you think? Will you watch the show with Ashton as the lead?

Academic Probation, Disqualification and Progress
Policy #2009-4
Pursuant to Executive Order No. 1038 and Sections 41300 and 41300.1 of Title 5 of the California code of Regulations and Chapter III, Sections 1 and 2 of the Standing Orders of the Board of Trustees of the California State University,
It is the policy of Sonoma State University that:
I. Academic Probation
A student is subject to academic probation if at any time his/her cumulative grade point average in all college work attempted OR cumulative grade point average at Sonoma State University falls below 2.0 if the student is an undergraduate (or pursuing a second bachelor's degree) or below 3.0 if the student is a graduate, credential, or post-baccalaureate student.
A student shall be removed from academic probation when his/her cumulative grade point average in all college work attempted AND cumulative grade point average at Sonoma State University is 2.0 or higher for undergraduates or 3.0 or higher for graduate students.
Students on academic probation must seek academic advising and/or attend a probation workshop; otherwise an advising hold may be placed on the student's record.
II. Academic Disqualification
A student will be subject to academic disqualification if, after the student has been on probation for at least one semester, his/her cumulative grade point average in all college work attempted, OR in all work at Sonoma State University, falls below the GPA indicated below:
Table 1: Academic Disqualification
Class Level
Units Completed
SSU or Cumulative GPA
0-29 units completed
30-59 units completed
60-89 units completed
90 or more units completed
Second Bachelor's Degree
Graduate, Post-Baccalaureate or Credential Candidates
A student who is academically disqualified is not permitted to register for or take courses at Sonoma State University, through regular or open university, from the time of disqualification until such time as the student is reinstated according to the procedures below.
III. Academic Disqualification of Students not on Probation:
A student not on probation may be disqualified if a) at the end of any term, the student has a cumulative GPA below 1.0, AND b) the cumulative GPA is so low that, in view of the student's overall educational record, it seems unlikely that the deficiency will be removed within a reasonable period, as determined by the registrar in consultation with the University Standards Committee. Such disqualifications may be appealed to the University Standards Committee.
IV. Administrative-Academic Probation
A student may be placed on administrative-academic probation for withdrawal from a substantial portion of a program in two successive semesters or in any three terms (for reasons other than a chronic or recurring medical condition); for repeated failure to progress toward a degree; or for failure to comply, after due notice, with an academic requirement or regulation that is routine for all students or for a defined group of students, such as failure to complete a required CSU or SSU examination, failure to complete a required practicum, failure to comply with professional standards appropriate to the field of study.
V. Administrative-Academic Disqualification
A student may be placed in administrative academic disqualified status if the student fails to remedy the condition resulting in administrative academic probation; if the student becomes subject to academic probation while on administrative-academic probation; or if the student becomes subject to administrative-academic probation for the same or similar reason for which he/she has been placed on administrative-academic probation previously even if the student is not current on administrative-academic probation.
In addition, a student may be disqualified if, at any time during enrollment, he/she has demonstrated behavior so contrary to the standards of the profession for which the student is preparing as to render him/her unfit for the profession. In such cases, disqualification will occur immediately upon notice to the student, and the student may be immediately disenrolled from the university.
VI. Reinstatement
Students who have been disqualified may not apply for immediate reinstatement. Students who have been disqualified and who have been separated from the University for at least one semester may apply to the University Standards Committee for reinstatement. The Committee shall take into consideration qualitative or quantitative evidence of the student's ability to overcome his/her grade point deficit (SSU or cumulative).
Lower-division students are expected to complete enough transferable college-level course work elsewhere to raise their cumulative average to at least 2.0 before applying for reinstatement.
In the case where a student is unable to raise his/her cumulative or SSU GPA to the required level without returning to SSU, the University Standards Committee may outline certain requirements that the student must meet to avoid being disqualified a second time. Such a student might be required to retake certain classes and/or maintain a minimum semester GPA until he/she has raised his/her cumulative and/or SSU GPA to the requirement in Table 1 above. These requirements will be provided to the student in the official reinstatement letter.
Disqualified students who are reinstated will be on a probationary basis, and must meet any requirements outlined in the reinstatement letter by the University Standards Committee, until all grade point deficiencies have been removed or until they are again disqualified.
See http://www.sonoma.edu/registration/records/academic_disqualification.html concerning the process of petitioning for reinstatement.
VII. Second Disqualification
Students who have been reinstated after disqualification and then disqualified again may not be considered for reinstatement except under exceptional circumstances.

Costa Concordia Victims Have Jurisdiction Victory In Florida
Feb 26, 2013, 01:42 EST
NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Survivors of the Costa Concordia grounding off the Tuscan coast of Italy in January 2012 won a huge victory in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida last week, when the District Judge ordered the claims of 104 survivors remanded to the Florida State Court for continued litigation. The court's February 15, 2013 order concerned two cases, Denise Abeid-Saba, et al., v. Carnival Corporation et al., (USDC-SDFla Docket No.: 12-CV-23513) and Scimone v. Carnival Corp., (USDC-S.D.Fla Docket No.: 12-CV-23505), together representing the claims of 104 plaintiffs injured when the huge ship capsized after grounding on rocks just off the shore of Isola del Giglio.
Both cases were initially commenced in the Florida State Court against Carnival Corp. as the parent corporation as well as ship designers and the architect. The cases were removed to the Federal Court by the defendants under the CLASS ACTION FAIRNESS ACT OF 2005 ("CAFA"), which allows for the removal of so-called "mass actions" to the federal courts. As the District Court noted, however, the CAFA expressly excludes those cases that are consolidated by a defense motion to achieve the CAFA minimum of 100 plaintiffs. Since neither the Abeid-Saba action nor the Scimone action contained 100 plaintiffs, the Court held that neither was amenable to removal under CAFA. Defendants also plead "federal question" jurisdiction as a second basis for removal; the District Court rejected this argument as well, holding that the interests in the litigation of the Italian government, which took no position in the litigation and neither owned nor operated the doomed vessel, were "speculative at best." A copy of the decision can be obtained by contacting the law firms.
Plaintiff's counsel Marc Jay Bern cited the Court's closing statements in celebrating this great victory for the plaintiffs: "As the District Court recognized, 'this case is about international and U.S. passengers injured on a pleasure cruise run by a private corporation and whether that corporation properly adhered to safety standards or was other negligent.' We are thrilled that we can now turn our attention to litigating the facts of this case before a Florida State court where the plaintiffs can expect their interests will be protected rather than in Italy where the courts are notoriously slow and cases for mass torts such as shipwrecks have taken as long as thirty years without final decisions. Additionally passengers litigating their claims in Italy would be subject to paying for litigation costs and under the American system, plaintiffs' law firms only seek compensation if their clients are successful. Thus the Florida state courts provide our clients the promise of a remedy not available in Italy."
Bern also noted that the recent events concerning safety issues on another Carnival ship, the Carnival Triumph, where an engine room fire stranded more than 3000 passengers in the Gulf of Mexico for almost a week, are yet another incident in a series of safety concerns relating to Carnival cruise ships. That fire was the third engine room fire on a Carnival or Carnival subsidiary ship since 2010, highlighting recurrent safety deficiencies in the cruise line industry in general and by Carnival in particular.
Bern's Co-Counsel Mitchell Proner of the law firm Proner & Proner noted that the firms have been contacted by Carnival Triumph passengers and are investigating filing suit on those claims as well. Both the Costa Concordia and the Carnival Triumph were built in the same "Discovery" cruise ship design platform and the attorneys will argue that there must have better oversight of the cruise ship industry in general and the Carnival Corp., specifically. The attorneys hope that plaintiffs' claims for punitive damages of half a billion dollars in the Costa Concordia matter will influence these corporate entities to reconsider their pursuit of profits over passenger safety.
The Costa Concordia victims are represented by Napoli Bern Ripka Shkolnik & Associates LLP, (with offices in New York and Florida as well as seven other states), New York-based Proner & Proner along with the Italian firm CODACONS. At least $2 million in compensation per passenger is sought, and attorneys plan to request $590 million in punitive damages.

BENEFITING: Be The Match
ORGANIZER: Emily
EVENT DATE: May 27, 2012
Emily McCullough wrote -
Last year after a very long and brave fight we lost an incredible man to leukemia. His name was Gil and he was my father-in-law. Gil loved nothing more than being with his family, kayacking, and reading the newspaper in his chair with his dog at his feet while enjoying his coffee.
This year I have decided to dedicate my first double marathon to Gil's memory by raising money from my race to support Be The Match Foundation, an organization that raises funds to help leukemia patients who need a bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant find a donor and receive treatment.
While Gil would never have wanted to run 52.4 miles himself (and would actually have thought it was too far to even drive) he was a generous man in all aspects of his life. Thank you for giving whatever you can to help fight leukemia in Gil's memory.

The Breadbasket Rises to a New Role
Restaurants Tinker With Your First Bite; Going Elaborate vs. Saving Some Dough
Restaurants are rethinking the bread basket.
And while bread—preferably free, warm and served with soft butter—is how many diners expect to start a restaurant meal, intense competition in the industry is changing what diners first munch on at the table.
Some restaurants are dropping the tradition to save money. Others are putting less bread...

PHOENIX -- Time and again, the St. Louis Cardinals were on the verge of putting the Arizona Diamondbacks away once and for all.
Yet, for inning after inning after inning, they couldn't quite get it done.
Finally, Cliff Pennington's single in the 16th inning brought home Jason Kubel from second to give the Diamondbacks a 10-9 victory in a game that didn't end until early Thursday.
At 5 hours and 32 minutes, it was the longest home game in Diamondbacks history as far as time elapsed and tied for the longest at home in terms of innings.
"We got up on them a couple of times and they came back. That was just a really fun game to be a part of," the Cardinals' Allen Craig said. "It was really long. I wish it was a little bit shorter and we would have won, but it was fun to be a part of."
Yadier Molina drove in three runs, including a leadoff home run that put St. Louis up 8-7 in the seventh, but Aaron Hill's RBI single tied it at 8-8 before both teams scored a run in the 12th.
"We put up nine runs and got a lot of hits," the Cardinals' Allen Craig said. "We had some spots where we could have got some more. We just couldn't get it done."
Pennington was 0 for 11 to start the season before getting three hits in the extra innings.
The Diamondbacks, who won two of three against the Cardinals, came from behind four times to either take the lead or tie the game.
"Excuse me if I am smiling," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "The things we practiced on, just being tough mentally, they hung in there. I don't know how many lead changes there were. It was over five hours long, 16 innings. It is just a great contribution. The guys were all there. We didn't panic when we got behind. Just outstanding. Just a great win."
Paul Goldschmidt and Martin Prado each hit a two-run homer, and Gerardo Parra homered, tripled and singled for the Diamondbacks.
Josh Collmenter (1-0) allowed one run on four hits in five innings to get the victory. He had pitched 1 2-3 innings in the team's 6-1 loss on Tuesday night.
"I felt good," Collmenter said. "It was part adrenaline, part wanting to keep in the game for the team. I think we were down to one guy and I wanted to go as long as I could. Health-wise I felt good. My arm felt good. In that situation, you don't want to let the guys down."
Fernando Salas (0-1), the last pitcher available in the St. Louis bullpen, took the loss.
In the 16th, Kubel drew a leadoff walk. Ian Kennedy, Arizona's opening day starter, pinch hit for Collmenter and put down a sacrifice bunt to move Kubel to second. That brought up Pennington, whose single to center finally ended it.
"We had some chances to finish it off. They did, too," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "It was just one of those back and forth to see who's standing at the end."
Daniel Descalo tied his career high with four hits for St. Louis, including two doubles.
Paul Kozma's RBI single off Collmenter put St. Louis up 9-8 in the 12th, but in the bottom half, Mitchell Boggs allowed a leadoff single to Pennington and hit Eric Chavez in the ribs. Parra's sacrifice bunt advanced the runners then Prado's sacrifice fly tied it 9-9.
Boggs, taking over as closer in place of injured Jason Motte, said that Pennington jumped on a pitch, then his throw to Boggs got away from him too far inside.
"It was a one-run game and I put myself in the worst possible situation I could," Boggs said. "It's disappointing because our guys played outstanding tonight and fought like crazy to get a run right there, and it's tough to let it get away."
Arizona's Brandon McCarthy allowed six runs on nine hits in five-plus innings in his first outing since sustaining a horrific head injury last Sept. 5.
McCarthy, while pitching for Oakland, took a line drive to the side of his head off the bat of Erick Aybar of the Los Angeles Angels, sustaining what the Athletics described at the time as life-threatening injuries. McCarthy was hospitalized and underwent surgery after sustaining an epidural hemorrhage, brain contusion and skull fracture.
He signed with Arizona as a free agent in the offseason.
Molina singled in a pair in the Cardinals' four-run third.
Lance Lynn, an 18-game winner last season, had a 4-1 lead after four but never got an out in the fifth.
Parra narrowly missed a second home run with a triple off the wall in left-center, then scored on Lynn's wild pitch. Prado singled, then Hill bounced one over the fence into the pool area in right-center for a ground rule double to put runners at second and third.
Randy Choate relieved Lynn and gave up an RBI sacrifice fly to Miguel Montero. Choate left in favor of right-hander Joe Kelly, whose first pitch was lined by Goldschmidt off the top of the wall in left for a two-run homer that put Arizona up 5-4.
But McCarthy didn't get an out in the sixth. Matt Adams singled and Kozma doubled to put runners at first and second. Left-hander Tony Sipp replaced McCarthy and surrendered a two-run single to Descalso and St. Louis regained the lead 6-5.
Notes: Arizona's previous longest home game was 5 hours, 14 minutes. ... Parra opened the game for Arizona with his first career leadoff home run. ... Arizona OF Cody Ross, on the 15-day DL (left calf strain), begins a rehab assignment at Class A Visalia on Thursday. ... The Cardinals open a three-game series at San Francisco on Friday, sending RHP Jake Westbrook to the mound against the Giants LHP Barry Zito. ... LHP Wade Miley goes for the Diamondbacks at Milwaukee on Friday, with RHP Kyle Lohse starting for the Brewers.

More soldiers return home
POCATELLO — More National Guardsmen of the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team were greeted home by family and friends as they arrived at the Pocatello Airport Tuesday after a year-long deployment.
For Staff. Sgt. Donald "D.J." Robertson of Blackfoot, returning home from his second deployment means being able to spend time with his family and finally getting to know his nine-month-old daughter.
Robertson's mother, Donna McBride, said he was able to see his daughter born via video chat on Skype and said when he came home for two weeks in April he could barely put her down.
"Now we're just thrilled to death that he is finally coming home," McBride said.
Robertson has five children—three girls and two boys. The oldest, Trevor, will be 11 next month.
"It's great to see my family and my friends," Robertson said.
Robertson's wife CaroLyn said she found out last night that her husband was coming home and said she is just happy and excited to have him home.
"She's really proud of the job he's done," CaroLyn's mother Carol Bodily said.
Sgt. 1st Class Leonardo Luis, of Blackfoot also returned from his second deployment Tuesday and was greeted by his wife, DaleMarie, and his children and grandchildren. He was also greeted by a black miniature schnauzer puppy named Mia—something Luis had said he wanted when he got home.
"We love him," DaleMarie said. "We're excited."
Luis operated vehicle maintenance crews in Tikrit, then Balad, Iraq. He said it was a busy job keeping vehicles on the road.
"I'm just glad to be home. It went by pretty quick," Luis said.
"We're just proud," his daughter Katie said. "We're glad to have him finally home."
There are still members of the 116th Cavalry Brigade yet to return home to Idaho. All soldiers should return by the end of September. Those returning include about 2,700 Citizen Soldiers from Idaho, Montana and Oregon, with about 1,500 from Idaho, 600 from Montana and 600 from Oregon.

Administrative Magistrate:
Sarah H. Luick, Esq.
Pursuant to G.L.c.32, §16(4), the Petitioner, Lynne Deane, appealed the determinations made by the Respondent, Teachers' Retirement Board, and by the Respondent, Plymouth County Retirement Board, to allow her less than full time creditable service for her employment between 1975-1982. (Exs. 1 & 2)
A hearing was held October 4, 2007, at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA), 98 North Washington Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, pursuant to G.L.c.7, §4H. Various documents are in evidence. (Exs. 1 - 12) The parties entered into some stipulations of fact. ("A") Two tapes were used. The Petitioner testified and presented of Mary L. Lewis, who had worked for the Hanson Public Schools between 1975-1978 when the Petitioner was also working for the school system. Arguments were made on the record. The Respondent, Plymouth County Retirement Board did not appear for the hearing, but Exhibit 12 is the affidavit of the Board's Administrator on how the Board determined an amount of creditable service for the Petitioner.
1. Lynne Deane, d.o.b. 3/19/45, worked as a third grade teacher full time for
the Hanson Public Schools for the 1966-1967 and 1967-1968 school years. ("A". Ex. 4. Testimony)
2. Ms. Deane left this job and withdrew her accumulated total deductions.
From 1968-1975 she had and raised two children born in 1968 and 1970. ("A". Testimony)
3. Ms. Deane worked at a private school during the 1974-1975 school year.
Starting with the 1975-1976 school year, Ms. Deane worked in the Hanson Public Schools as a Title I or Chapter I Tutor. She performed this service through June 1983. This was non-membership service. ("A". Exs. 3, 4, 5, 6 & 8. Testimony)
4. Ms. Deane was a Tutor in reading skills. This work was paid through a
federal grant program. Her employment as a Tutor was subject to a yearly contract. She was paid by the hour, and earned no pay and did no work over the summer months. She would apply each year for the job. This was the process followed for all the Title I or Chapter I employees. (Exs. 3 & 8. Testimony)
5. Ms. Deane worked full time for the Hanson Public Schools starting with
the 1983-1984 school year. She continued working full time through the time of her retirement. She again became a member of the Teachers' Retirement System during this time period. ("A". Testimony)
6. Ms. Deane retired effective April 1, 2004 through the Teachers'
Retirement Board. ("A". Testimony)
7. Prior to retirement, Ms. Deane sought to purchase for creditable service
her work between September 1, 1975 and June 30, 1983. ("A". Exs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 & 10. Testimony)
8. The records Ms. Deane kept on her Title I or Chapter I Tutor work were
incomplete. At the time her weekly hours worked were recorded onto time sheets. She tried without success to secure these records to show the numbers of hours per week during the school years she worked. At the start of this work she was paid about $3.50 per hour. By about the 1977-1978 school year she was earning about $5.00 per hour. (Ex. 5. Testimony)
9. Also during this 1975 into 1983 time period, Ms. Deane was
paid to perform work as a substitute teacher for the Hanson Public Schools. This was done regularly over these years, but only occasionally, and not for large uninterrupted periods of time. (Exs. 4, 5, 6, 8 & 9. Testimony)
10. The W-2 forms Ms. Deane was able to secure for the 1975-1983 time
period showed her employer each of those years was the Town of Hanson. The 1975 W-2 form showed only $80 earned. The 1976 W-2 form showed $600 earned. The 1977 W-2 form showed $1,000.23 earned. The 1978 W-2 form showed $3,018.50. The 1979 W-2 form showed $4,996.75 earned. The 1980 W-2 form showed $5,416.60 earned. The 1981 W-2 form showed $5,430.65 earned. The 1982 W-2 form showed $5,819 earned. The 1983 W-2 form showed $10,408.04 earned. Ms. Deane was working full time by September - December 1983 in the Hanson Public Schools, but from January - June 1983, she was still working as a Chapter I or Title I Tutor. (Exs. 3, 5 & 8)
11. For the years 1975-1983 as a Tutor, Ms. Deane was not found eligible for membership in the Plymouth County Retirement System because she was in a temporary part time hours position. She was not found eligible for membership in the Teachers' Retirement System because she did not satisfy the definition of teacher in G.L.c.32, §1 and was in a temporary position not working at least half time. ("A". Exs. 3, 11 & 12)
12. The only documentation the Plymouth County Retirement Board had to determine if Ms. Deane had the ability to purchase any of her Tutor service between 1975-1983 for creditable service, were her W-2 forms. The Board concluded the amounts of wages on her W-2 forms for the years 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983 showed full years of service as a Chapter I or Title I Tutor through the close of June 1983. The Board concluded the amounts of wages on her W-2 forms for the years 1975, 1976, 1977 and 1978 showed she worked less than full time from September 1, 1975 through June 1978. (Exs. 3, 5, 8 & 12)
13. The Plymouth County Retirement Board determined how much creditable service it would accept liability for if Ms. Deane purchased this Chapter I or Title I Tutor service, by doing the following calculation:
The Board determined the number of months of credit for the years 1975 through 1978 by taking the wages indicated on the W-2 forms for each of those years and dividing that figure by the wages reported on the W-2 form for 1979. For each year the Board then approximated that result to a number of months based on the twelve months per year. (Ex. 12)
The result of this calculation for the years of part time service, using a twelve month schedule, was: "0 months for 1975, 2 months for 1976, 3 months for 1977, and 8 months for 1978," for thirteen months or "1.0833 years" of creditable service. For 1978 - June 1983, Ms. Deane received full years of creditable service for her work. (Exs. 7, 8 & 12)
14. Ms. Deane felt sure that she had worked full time hours each of the years 1975-1983 as a Chapter I or Title I Tutor other than the days she was doing substitute teaching. (Exs. 1 & 10. Testimony)
15. The Plymouth County Retirement Board reported to the Teachers' Retirement System by letter of June 11, 2001, that Ms. Deane had 5 years 1 month of creditable service the Board was willing to accept liability for. This overall total reflects working full time school years from 1979 onward through June 1983. (Exs. 3 & 12)
16. The Teachers' Retirement Board informed Ms. Deane by letter of October 17, 2003 that an estimate of creditable service she could secure though not yet verified would be:
Hanson: 9/1/1966 - 6/30/1968 = 2.0 years
Ch. 114 Maternity: 6/30/1968 - 9/1/1983 = 4.0 years
Hanson (substitute service): 9/1/1975 - 9/1/1983 = 5.25 years
Plymouth County Ret. Bd.: 1/1/1983 - 6/30/1983 = .5 years
Plymouth County Ret. Bd.: 9/1/1984 - 6/30/1987 = 3.5833 years
Hanson: 9/1/1987 - 6/30/2003 = 16.0 years (Ex. 4)
This estimate was totaled to 31.3333 years as of June 30, 2003. Ms. Deane was informed that the service 1/1/1983 - 6/30/1983 and 9/1/1984 - 6/30/1987 was to be determined based on whether the Plymouth County Retirement Board employed a twelve or ten month schedule for those time periods of employment. (Ex. 4)
17. Ms. Deane was issued on October 17, 2003 an invoice by the Teachers' Retirement Board to do a purchase for creditable service of her substitute service. (Ex. 6)
18. By letter of the Teachers' Retirement Board of January 27, 2004, the Plymouth County Retirement Board was asked to report back to the Teachers' Retirement Board if it was using a ten or twelve month schedule for determining Ms. Deane's creditable service. The Plymouth County Retirement Board responded on February 2, 2004, that it was using a twelve month schedule. (Ex. 7)
19. The Teachers' Retirement Board issued another invoice to Ms. Deane on February 10, 2004 for doing a purchase of 5.25 years of creditable service for "other MA Government Employment, Plymouth County Retirement Board, 9/1/75 - 9/31/83," contingent upon the Board determining use of a ten or twelve month schedule. (Ex. 7)
20. By letter of April 8, 2004, the Teachers' Retirement Board was informed that the Plymouth County Retirement Board would accept five years and one month of creditable service liability for Ms. Deane's part time service between 1975-1982. (Ex. 8)
21. By letter to Ms. Deane of April 8, 2004, the Teachers' Retirement Board informed Ms. Deane that she was only receiving 5.0833 years of creditable service for the time period September 1, 1975 - June, 30, 1983. (Exs. 6 & 9)
22. By letter to Ms. Deane of June 30, 2004, the Teachers' Retirement Board explained how much creditable service she was going to receive in regard to service the Plymouth County Retirement Board had accepted liability for:
The Plymouth County Retirement Board has credited you with less time than you feel you have worked. For the period of 1975-1982, the Plymouth County Retirement Board accepted liability for 5 years and 1 month of service. For the period of 12/28/82 - 6/30/83 they credited you with 6 months of service. For the period of 9/10/84 - 6/30/87 they credited you with 2 years and 5 months of service. (Ex. 2)
The Teachers' Retirement Board provided her with her appeal rights and recommended that she "contact the Plymouth County Retirement Board directly to try and resolve this issue." (Ex. 2)
23. Ms. Deane did not directly appeal this June 30, 2004 decision letter of the Teachers' Retirement Board. But, by a letter of May 20, 2004, received May 24, 2004, she filed an appeal with the Contributory Retirement Appeal Board that she was aggrieved by not receiving full time creditable service for her Chapter I or Title I Tutor work 1975-1983. She explained in her letter that she felt she had "full time service and Plymouth County Retirement Board is only giving me some of my years." (Ex. 1)
24. Ms. Deane wrote the Plymouth County Retirement Board and the Teachers' Retirement Board by letter of July 31, 2005 to assert that she should have received 8 years not 5.025 years of creditable service from the Plymouth County Retirement Board for the years 1975-1983. She again asked for reconsideration of her claim for full years of creditable service. (Ex.10)
25. The Plymouth County Retirement Board wrote to the Teachers' Retirement Board by letter of September 6, 2006 that Ms. Deane was not a member of their retirement system between September 1, 1975 - June 30, 1983, and that the Board would accept liability for only five years and one month of creditable service. (Ex. 11)
Timeliness of the Appeal
Upon reviewing the documents, I find that the appeal taken by Ms. Deane prior to the issuance of the Teachers' Retirement Board's letter of June 30, 2004 which contained the appeal rights to the Contributory Retirement Appeal Board (CRAB), was timely made. I conclude the appeal was timely even though Ms. Deane produced a letter of appeal dated May 20, 2004, which was also filed on May 24, 2004. That is over one month before the Teachers' Retirement Board issued its letter of decision containing the rights to appeal. The findings made demonstrate that by May 20, 2004, Ms. Deane was aware that she would not be receiving full time creditable service for her work as a Chapter I or Title I Tutor in the Hanson Public Schools from 1975-1982, which is the issue she has appealed. She understood at that point that the Plymouth County Retirement Board was determining the amount of creditable service she would receive. Nothing in the record shows Ms. Deane received a letter of decision with her rights to appeal from the Plymouth County Retirement Board. In fact, the Teachers' Retirement Board relied upon the determination of the Plymouth County Retirement Board as to the amount of creditable service Ms. Deane would receive for a purchase of her prior non-membership service as a Chapter I or Title I Tutor. Under these set of circumstances, I find Ms. Deane made an acceptable timely appeal to CRAB without a need on her part to have filed a second letter of appeal in reaction to the June 30, 2004 letter of decision of the Teachers' Retirement Board.
The reliance upon what the Plymouth County Retirement Board found in the W-2 forms showed is proper. No evidence was presented to show that Board improperly read the figures shown on those forms. Ms. Deane argued that she worked as a Chapter I or Title I Tutor full time during the various school years between 1975-1983 other than on the days she worked at a substitute teacher, and that the amounts reflected in the early years W-2 forms cannot be correct. She recalled how she had started out earning only about $3.50 per hour, but later on reached a level of about $5.00 per hour. She presented the testimony of a co-worker at the time, Mary Lewis, to corroborate her testimony about working full time. Ms. Lewis testified that she recalled seeing Ms. Deane routinely working as a Tutor during this time period. Ms. Lewis, though, did not directly work with Ms. Deane, and as a music teacher during this time period worked in a number of school buildings. I conclude that her testimony is insufficient to prove Ms. Deane worked full time school year during the early years of this Tutor work. I conclude that despite Ms. Deane's recollections, the W-2 forms for each of these years are the proper evidence to use to determine if she worked part time or full time hours during these years. Her evidence that they do not all reflect her actual hours worked as a Chapter I or Title I Tutor, is insufficient to overcome sound reliance upon them as the best evidence of her full time or part time work as a Tutor. This is particularly the case since she could not produce the time sheets or other underlying payroll records to show the actual hours she worked toward refuting the accuracy of the W-2 forms. See, Brandwein v. Teachers' Retirement Board, Suffolk Superior Court Civil Action No. 03-01904 (Ball, J.) (8/17/06) (Ms. Brandwein's testimony to the contrary could not overcome the actual payroll records of her employment that were relied upon to determine her creditable service.)
I further conclude that the formula employed by the Plymouth County Retirement Board to determine the amount of creditable service Ms. Deane would receive for those part time work years is also proper, supportable, and fair in terms of the criteria that Board employed in finding her work 1975-1982 to have been part time work in a temporary position not subject to Plymouth County Retirement System membership. The Plymouth County Retirement Board is able to use a twelve month schedule and not the ten month schedule in determining Ms. Deane's creditable service for this non-membership time period. Using the full service year of 1979, the year closest to the years of part time service, and then determining for each of the years 1975-1978 the percentage of 1979 service those years showed, is proper, supportable, and fair. (See, Ex. 12)
But, determining the amount of creditable service Ms. Deane can secure for this prior 1975-1982 part time work, is subject to 807 CMR 3.03, a regulation of the Teachers' Retirement Board addressing "Non-Membership Public Service." It reads:
(1) Except as provided in 807 CMR 10.00, the Board will allow proportional credit for any period of non-membership service rendered in a Massachusetts governmental unit, the purchase of which is authorized under M.G.L. c. 32,
§ 3(5) or 4(2)(c). Any such purchase will be allowed only after submission of documentation satisfactory to the Board. Such non-membership service includes, but is not limited to, service as a teacher on a per diem substitute basis or on any other basis that is less than half time.
(2) Proportional Credit means that for any year during which the member was ineligible for membership in a contributory retirement system and service was rendered as an employee on a part time, provisional, temporary, temporary provisional, seasonal or intermittent basis for a Massachusetts governmental unit, after purchase the member will receive as creditable service that percentage of full time credit equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days or hours actually worked during that year, and the denominator of which is the number of days or hours that would have been worked by a full time employee during that year as determined by the Board.
(3) The member may purchase less than all non-membership service available
for purchase; provided, however, that in such event the member must purchase
the most recent time first.
(4) 807 CMR 3.03 shall apply to members whose effective date of retirement is after May 24, 2001.
The outcome of Ms. Deane's appeal can be found in the recent case of Fleck v. Teachers' Retirement Board, CR-04-490 (DALA, 3/22/06) (No CRAB Decision). A current Teachers' Retirement System member had been a Teacher's Aide in the Falmouth Public Schools from September 1972 to December 1976. She worked sporadic hours of as few as eighteen in one month to as many as one hundred eighty-eight in another month. She ended up with a total of 3417 hours for this time period, and was found by the Falmouth School Department to have worked 60-70% of full time. The Falmouth Retirement Board utilized a twelve month schedule to determine the amount of creditable service it would accept liability for and computed at total of one year and eight months. Ms. Fleck's Teacher's Aide work was found to be temporary, and not eligible for Falmouth Retirement System membership. But, 807 CMR 3.03 was applicable since Ms. Fleck was seeking to retire after May 24, 2001 as per 807 CMR 3.03(4), and this changed the outcome. The Teachers' Retirement Board was found not able to use the Falmouth Retirement Board's twelve month schedule to determine the amount of creditable service Ms. Fleck could receive for this prior service, and instead had to use its ten month schedule. Ms. Fleck had sought this creditable service through G.L.c.32, §3(5) since she was retiring through her membership in the Teachers' Retirement System. 807 CMR 3.03(1) refers to this regulation as being applicable when creditable service is sought through Section 3(5). This resulted in more creditable service than she would have received if the Falmouth Retirement System's calculation had been used.
There is no fundamental difference in the circumstances between Ms. Fleck and Ms. Deane. Therefore, as per the reasoning of Fleck, supra, Ms. Deane's creditable service for the 1975-1982 part time non-membership work period for a public school system has to be calculated employing a ten month schedule, and not the twelve month scheduled the Plymouth County Retirement System employed. As was noted in Fleck, supra, this result is due to the applicability of 807 CMR 3.03, and seeking creditable service through Section 3(5), with the member having a retirement date after May 24, 2001.
For these reasons, the case is remanded to the Teachers' Retirement Board for recalculating the amount of the part time creditable service employing a ten month schedule, but otherwise relying upon the calculation of the Plymouth County Retirement System.

Fire officials: 7-year-old Iowa girl dies in blaze
Fire officials: 7-year-old Iowa girl dies in blaze
INDEPENDENCE, Iowa —
Authorities say a 7-year-old girl has died in an apartment fire in northeast Iowa.
The Independence Fire Department says firefighters pulled the girl out of the apartment early Friday morning. The girls' family, including her parents and two siblings, managed to escape the blaze.
The fire, which completely engulfed part of the two-story building, was reported shortly after 4 a.m. Firefighters took an hour to completely douse the flames, which were visible through the roof.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the family told firefighters they had been unable to find the girl during the fire. Assistant Fire Chief Rick Wulfekuhle says officials believe the girl, who was found dead, died of smoke inhalation.

We Can Still Decide
Dear Editor,
I so appreciate Brandi Smeltzer's letter in your October 25th edition. It seems our current administration of government leans heavily toward Mr. Alinsky's way of thinking. When they disregard the constitution they swore to uphold, and continually take actions that weaken our country, the evidence is clearly there. As Ms. Smeltzer points out, the goal of Alinsky and those who think like him is to cause chaos and confusion so they can "rescue" us. Then they can recreate our nation into what they want. It does not matter what the rest of us want.
We are witnessing a power struggle. Our nation and our children's futures stand in the balance. This is the age old battle of good against evil. However, you and I still have the opportunity to turn things around.
The path we are on is clearly headed into socialism. Socialism limits choices and removes competition. It deals with groups rather than caring about individuals. It tries to make everyone the same and forces conformity. The government takes the place of God and forces everyone to come to it for all his needs.
The founders of our nation recognized these traps. This is why they rejected any other foundation and chose to set this country on the principals of freedom found in the Bible. God works with us individually. He always gives us a choice and never forces. He blesses those who do right, and we all know there is right and wrong.
As for our leaders, we still have a choice. We can still decide which way we will go. Please use your vote wisely. "The land of the free and the home of the brave" hangs in the balance.

Gyrocopter crashes in Westminster
Pilot of private aircraft not injured
Gyrocopter crashes in Westminster
Pilot of private aircraft not injured
WESTMINSTER, Md. —
A private aircraft crashed in Carroll County.
Fire officials said they received the call around 4:20 p.m. Tuesday for a crash in the 700 block of Oak Tree Court in Westminster.
SkyTeam 11 Capt. Roy Taylor reported that a gyrocopter took off from Clearview Airpark Airport, where the aircraft was based, and crashed a short distance away.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office identified the pilot as Shamram Amirkhanian.
Authorities said Amirkhanian was flying the experimental gyrocopter too low and clipped some power lines, causing it to crash into an open field. They said the pilot was not hurt.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation. No charges will be filed, authorities said.

Hi guys,
Once in a while I still accidentally faceplant, or get spun around so my board's behind my body, and I'm laying on my stomach in the water. So far I've just been taking the board off and setting up again.
One of my DVDs says you can dive the kite down and bring it up again to jump out of the water, but that looks a bit hardcore for me. Is there an easier way to get the board back in front, but quicker/less of a hassle than taking the board off?

Lowriding might just well be the only culture where a "Fatal Attraction" can actually be a good thing. Just ask Jose Alvarez, Jr., of Oxnard, CA. "I'd pick my car over going out with girls, or going to bars and clubs. I spent my nights in the garage," proudly boasts the hard-working Alvarez. Those long garage nights paid off as this car, his first build ever, has truly become a work of art. While it is a masterpiece now, it was not built without pressure; the car was handed down to Jose by his grandfather, Angel Alvarez, and his father, Jose Alvarez, Sr. Jose intended on adding "just a few mods," but the build became a frame off restoration that would take over four years to create. The car received a six-month body modification process to really achieve a custom look. "My firewall is completely shaved, the back package tray is molded, we molded some skirts, removed the side windows, added a moon roof, shaved the handles, and created a fastback-styled rear roof to make the Monte appear more sporty and less boxy," says Jose. Even more radical, the Chevy's dash is made from scratch out of metal with a candied center console down the middle that also wraps around the sides. The car has already turned heads at the Las Vegas Super Show in 2010; the SEMA convention, the LA Convention Center Show, and the Pomona Roadster Show, where it took home a second place trophy. While there were times that the four-year odyssey frustrated the Lifestyle Car Club Member, Jose kept pushing forward. "Just putting the front end on, with the bumper and grill and seeing the car come together, it was exciting," says Jose with a grin. "It was that moment I never thought would finally happen." Jose sends his thanks to his mom, who helped him to get the loans he needed to fund the car, as well as Adrian Chavez, who wired the whole car and assisted Jose with all of his electrical needs. He also thanks George, from Candy Factory, for putting up with the long hours in the last four months of the build to meet the Vegas deadline, John Monster and Albert for hard lining and performing the hydraulic set up install, Luis '64 for helping him with the engine, and all of his fellow Lifestyle members who supported the build.
